I have been searching for hours trying to find a good solution to create videos for my products to post on Youtube.

I found something called stills2dv that does exactly that at YouTube - Pan / Zoom Still Images - Video with stills2dv (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fn-IkKbPWhc)

But I need it to run on Windows.

Does anyone know of a free or cheap command line video editor that can be run in batch to take the file locations of an image and a sound file and some panning/zooming co-ordinates and create a video file?

Does it have to be command line? Windows movie maker probably does all this graphically. Flash could as well. I don't know of any command line tools unless you want to write some fancy php script to do it and host it on a wamp server on your local machine.

I certainly don't have a ready made solution but for the record this is something that wouldn't be too difficult for a decent php developer to do. - Cross platform php app using the GD or similar graphics library. It can be done. If you're doing this lots and with repetitive tasks that could be a good long term solution.
